How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email, email, email.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

My high school actually did not have a newspaper, but I did spend a little time shooting photos for the yearbook.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime after I've eaten, really.
